Interfacial strength dominates fold formation in microscale, soft static friction
Justin D. Glover, Xingwei Yang, Rong Long +1
Utilizing colloidal probe, lateral force microscopy and simultaneous confocal microscopy, combined with finite element analysis, we investigate the mechanism of static friction for…
The fracture of highly deformable soft materials: A tale of two length scales
Rong Long, Chung-Yuen Hui, Jian Ping Gong +1
The fracture of highly deformable soft materials is of great practical importance in a wide range of technological applications, emerging in fields such as soft robotics, stretchab…
Adhesion mechanics of graphene on textured substrates
Narasimha G Boddeti, Rong Long, Martin L Dunn
Graphene, the 2D form of carbon, has excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties and a variety of potential applications including NEMS, protective coatings, transparen…
Adhesion, Stiffness and Instability in Atomically Thin MoS2 Bubbles
David Lloyd, Xinghui Liu, Narasimha Boddeti +4
We measured the work of separation of single and few-layer MoS2 membranes from a SiOx substrate using a mechanical blister test, and found a value of 220 +- 35 mJ/m^2. Our measurem…
Observation of Pull-in Instability in Graphene Membranes under Interfacial Forces
Xinghui Liu, Narasimha G. Boddeti, Mariah R. Szpunar +6
We present a unique experimental configuration that allows us to determine the interfacial forces on nearly parallel plates made from the thinnest possible mechanical structures, s…
Mechanics of Adhered, Pressurized Graphene Blisters
Narasimha G. Boddeti, Steven P. Koenig, Rong Long +3
We study the mechanics of pressurized graphene membranes using an experimental configuration that allows the determination of the elasticity of graphene and the adhesion energy bet…
